Summary
Microsurgical coronally advanced tunnel procedures using subepithelial connective tissue grafts (sCTG) are predictable for healing of multiple adjacent type 1 and 2 gingival recessions (RT1 and RT2). In order to reduce patient morbidity and enhance periodontal wound healing with sCTG can be used. The aim of this study is to compare the results of the modified tunneling technique with subepithelial connective tissue graft in gingival recessions placed with the inner side towards the flap cover graft and the outer side towards the flap cover graft.
